Don’t know where the waters got in, was going to remove top of gearbox and flush out the box and replace the gasket. Do I have to remove the extension top cover separately or will it come away as one?

Right got the speedo drive out, when it came out a load of what looked like water came out and the cog was thick with brown sludge, is it knackered? TIA

Thanks Pete, was just worried I may lose oil out of the gearbox. I have a gps speedo, I know it’s not legal, just in case I had to take it somewhere

Yes, it’s a 3 rail without overdrive. Can I still drive it without the cable plugged in? ‘The fuel gauge and temperature gauge stopped working, and Speedo had seized, the radio and speakers were also knackered, think it was water damage. Thought it was the voltage regulator at first, but tested everything and there was power to everything. The tachometer I had converted to electric, because it was mechanical still works, but it has new seals and is connected directly to the coil.

Need help, Spitfire mkIV the speed was playing up, reading below the speed and distance it should, the engine has been changed to a 1500, but still has the original gearbox (I think). I’ve had the car resprayed, but somehow they seem to have blown all the gauges and radio. I had brought some second hand gauges so replaced them easily. The originals were jaegar which I’m planning to get refurbished, the speedo is now seized. So the new gauges are smiths, when I connect the speedo I get no reading at all, I checked everything was ok at the speedo end, which it was, I managed to get the gearbox end off ok but the thread is stripped on the gearbox so I don’t think it was engaging properly. Is this easy to change on the car with the gear box tunnel removed? And is it ok to drive the car with nothing plugged into the gearbox? (I have a gps speedo). Thanks
